Use case

AI research library for papers and notes

Research involves collecting information from dozens of sources: PDFs, web articles, conference slides, handwritten notes, voice memos from interviews. CapturedIt unifies all of it into a single, AI-searchable library you can query from ChatGPT or Claude.

The Problem

Researchers lose time managing scattered bookmarks, PDF folders, note apps, and screenshots. Finding that key finding from three months ago takes forever.

The Solution

Capture everything into CapturedIt. Search by concept, not just keyword. Ask AI to summarize papers, find connections between sources, and surface relevant past research.

How it works

1

Save papers and articles

Use the Chrome or Safari extension to save web articles, or drag PDFs into the web app. AI automatically extracts summaries and key points.

2

Add notes and voice memos

Capture insights from lab meetings, conference calls, and field observations via mobile. Everything syncs across devices.

3

Search and analyze

Search with natural language: "studies on neural networks published in 2025". Ask ChatGPT or Claude (via MCP) to compare findings across your library.

Key features

PDF processing

Upload PDFs and get AI-generated summaries and searchable text extraction.

Semantic search

Find relevant papers even if you do not remember the exact title or keywords.

Source tracking

Every item preserves its original URL or file metadata for proper citation.

ChatGPT integration

Query your research library directly from ChatGPT with Vault plan.
